Building a Yearlong Washington State

Scope and Sequence

Design Rule #1: Make it suitable for districtwide

use

Washington history begins with the first people of this land. Students will examine the tribal and colonial histories of Washington’s past and their civic and social responsibilities to Washington’s future. Their study includes an examination of tribal homelands, state and tribal constitutions, the struggle to balance indigenous land-based values and colonial land values, contemporary popular and tribal sovereignty issues, and the impact both have on sustainability. Through study of migration, social justice, urbanization, and human interactions with the environment, students will develop their own agency as well as enduring understandings of the core concepts and ideas in civics, economics, geography, and history as outlined in state social studies standards.

Design Rule #1

Define Standards You

Will Use:

Washington State Standards for Social Studies (WSSS) –

Since Time Immemorial Essential Understandings and Learning Outcomes: - Under RCW 28A.320.170

Consider Your Practices: SEL? Anti-Racist? Other? STI is not just about content. It is about building relationships. One of the first steps toward building relationships should be creating culturally responsive school environments free of stereotype threat.

Consider Yearly Themes: Possible Themes: since time immemorial, conflicting land values, student agency

Consider American Indian Essential Understandingsdeveloped by The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian are identified in inquiry blueprints or focused inquiries.
